In 2012, Eurogamer and Rock, Paper, Shotgun announced Rezzed, a PC and indie games show spun off from Eurogamer Expo.[10] Rezzed was first held at the Brighton Centre on 6–7 July 2012.[11] In September 2012, Eurogamer announced that Eurogamer Expo would also host a Rezzed component.[12]

In October 2013, the Eurogamer Expo was renamed to EGX London, and Rezzed was renamed EGX Rezzed.[8] The EGX London brand was discontinued in 2014, and following the move to Birmingham NEC the show has been called simply EGX.
